Munich (Germany) - The impressive growth of Travian Games continues unabated after the move to larger offices in Parkstadt Schwabing, bucking the downward trend in the rest of the entertainment industry. The company has reached a new high, with over two hundred permanent employees at its Munich offices. This makes Travian Games the biggest employer in the Bavarian entertainment industry, as it continues to develop its position as one of the world's leading browser game companies.

The Munich-based browser game specialist has also attracted a significant number of veterans from the German gaming world. The company that already employs Ingo Horn as Senior PR manager and Andreas Balfanz as its new Marketing Manager for cooperative projects has now added none other than Ralf C. Adam to its ranks as new Head of Game Development. The industry veteran joined the Travian Games management team to head up its internal development departments starting July 1st. Adam has nearly 20 years of professional experience in the games industry at companies such as Disney, Atari or Vivendi, contributing to the success of blockbusters such as SpellForce, Gothic 2, Sacred or Settlers 6. He also headed up the development of online license-based title Star Trek Infinite Space.

Florian Bohn, CEO of Travian Games: "I'm glad that we have attracted such a well-known and experienced games industry expert. This demonstrates great confidence in our sustainable growth strategy. Ralf is a very important addition to our team. After his brief interlude as a freelancer, I'm very pleased that he was so impressed with our portfolio, philosophy and our culture that he decided to join us in shaping the future."

Ralf C. Adam adds: "The company's focus and strategy, combined with its no- nonsense approach, convinced me that Travian Games was the right place for my skills and contacts. We are very optimistic about the future and look forward to adding new developments to the company's current profitable products. This will broaden the portfolio of Travian Games even further, allowing us to reach far more than the 115 million currently confirmed players."
